Colons are fine in HTTP header, they don't add any ambiguity on it's own as header
key's are the part from start of line to the _first_ colon.
The RFCs (7231 or the updated 9110) allow all printable ASCII chars (0x21 to 0x7E).

In fact, if I use `curl -OJ`, telling it to use the content-disposition header, it
does the right thing and safes the file correctly, preserving colons.

FWICT it's really just due to Windows limitations w.r.t. file naming that the
browser seemingly spread to all platforms (possibly to avoid that Linux user
passing files to Windows users breaks) - maybe open a bug there? x)

meh... if, we'd need to adapt PVE again, there I already applied this.
